With all this FIRST!!!!111 business, it makes me think of my anthropology studying this afternoon. I laid out a chart of all the primates from 65 million years ago to today, starting with Pugatorius. I wrote “FIRST” by it because it was the first primate in the fossil record.

So, technically, Purgatorius was FIRST!!!1111 Unless you came along at 66 MYA or earlier.

Denker and Dodd
Denker, who becomes the youngest Giant at age 22, didn’t appear to be bound for the Majors when the season began. He hit .184 in 25 games with Double-A Connecticut. Yet, he was promoted to Triple-A Fresno after Burriss was summoned to the Giants in late April and regained his stroke, batting .315 in 17 games.

“Being in 30-degree weather every day doesn’t help,” Denker said, referring to his Connecticut stint. “I really didn’t feel like hitting when I was there.”
